Mikey Bustos - Pinoy Ako, Filipino Lyrics

I was born and grew up in another country
But I always felt so different never really knowing why
Did my best to try to fit in, and oh yes
I even tried to deny my own heritage inside

But every food I taste
Every PSST I make
Every party I feel myself inside
There's a blood that runs, pride from where I am
called the Philippines

Where the sun meets the waves, trees and mountains
It calls me, Pinoy ako, Filipino
Where the heat warms your heart by the sea lies my country
Pinoy ako, many reasons to be proud to be Filipino

My country, over 7000 islands
Filipinos on these islands
Laugh with heart and smile
Food like you have never ever tasted
Adobo and halo-halo, come let us shave the ice

We respect elders and when times get tough
We just work harder, 'till we're up on top
We are welcoming, hospitality of the Philippines

In a land where they say Mabuhay
It reminds me, pinoy ako, Filipino
In the land of many generations before me
So beautiful, I am a Filipino at Pinoy ako

It's my chocolate skin, smiling eyes
So good looking, in my barong
Dance with bamboo
We can travel afar , start a new life in new countries
Filipino, deep in my soul
